DOCTOR’S FEE (MOMMAS BOY BOOK SERIES) ENGLISH VERSION

FAR OFF, DEYNIE was already smiling. Tejie decided to meet in person to talk to Deynie about the video she passed on.

“I thought that you’d come with him. Where is he?” Deynie gracefully said.

Tejie sat down. They met in a fancy restaurant.

“Why so upset? I got a good shot, didn’t I? HD! Ahaha!” Deynie laughed loudly.

“How much do you need?” Tejie immediately asked seriously.

“Do I look like I need money?” Deynie raised an eyebrow. “I like your brother, that’s all. Have you shown him the video?”

“He doesn’t need to see that!” My brother is going through something, so it will add to his stress if he finds out he has something like that,” Tejie said in annoyance.

“Married?” Deynie asked flatly.

“No! But he’s a special someone!”

“There’s something about why he hit me that night. And he fucked me so well! You saw it in the video I sent you! He should be proud to see that because he fucks like a pornstar! Haha!” Deynie laughed loudly.

Tejie focused on her face. “Aren’t you ashamed of what you did? You just met us for the first time! What kind of upbringing did your parents give you, and-look! How old are you again? eighteen? Pff! What the hell?” he insulted.

“Deynie just smiled. You should thank me because your brother forgot about his problem when he fucked me! He’s just unlucky because I’m the one who can’t forget him now!”

“Stay away from my brother, Deynie! Clyde has someone to protect as well as his reputation as a doctor. So never get near him!” Teijie said angrily.

Deynie stood up. “Well, what if something comes out of what happened to us that night?”

Tejie also stood up and held Deynie’s arm as she was about to leave. “For real? Tsst! You said that the video was in HD, so you can see how Doc attaches and removes the condom that was used on you! Now! Tell me what I can do to keep you quiet!” Tejie almost begged in front of Deynie. My brother won’t be able to handle it if he finds out! You have no right to do that to him!”

Deynie looked Tejie straight in the eyes. “Let him come to me. Is that a difficult exchange? Give me his social media accounts because I want to talk to him!” she said before leaving.

MY TEARS NEVER stop.

“Laura-what’s my fault? Fuck! Hmph!”

I don’t feel like going to work and haven’t been there for two days. Nothing is as heavy as I feel at these times. My chest is almost tight with so much pain. I’m struggling to take a breath.

“Ugh! Laura-hmmn…I’m so sorry about last night.”

I picked up the bottle of sleeping pills that I had been taking yesterday just to calm my mind. I want to sleep to forget first and not to feel pain.

“Why is this? Why is it so painful? I don’t want this anymore! Hmm… I don’t want this anymore! Please – I thought it wouldn’t happen again. Hmn.. ”

I took the bottle, then glanced at the two bottles of beer I had already drunk and the one I still had and was currently drinking.

“Hmp! When-when I die, will Laura come to me? Hmp!” I whispered after I poured all the pills into my palm.

“Haaa! Haaa!”

I started with one pill.

“Laura, sorry-sorry! Hmm..!”

I spat.

My decision is complete to end the pain I feel. My mind is set that I’m going to end all of this madness.

I took a handful of sleeping pills and at the same time held on to my beer.

“Uhuk! Ahak!”

I almost choked. My tears flowed continuously because of the pain I felt. It’s fuckin’ killing me!

“Uhu! Uhuk! Aak!”

Just a moment and…

Suddenly, the door opened.

“Clyde? Fuck! What is that? Stop that!” Tejie shouted.

He immediately grabbed my mouth. I can feel his tight grip on my throat.

“You motherfucker! Don’t do that! Umm! Throw it all up!” He was trying to grab my throat to get out the pills I had already taken. He is crying too.

“Uhuk! Uhuk!”

“Umm! No brother! Fuck! I won’t allow it! Umm! I’m not letting you! Fuck Clyde!” He kept on clenching my jaw, pulling out all the pills. I was lying flat on the floor. “Spit it out! Fuuuuuck! Clyde, you idiot! It’s just a girl! Spit it out! Daaaad!” Tejie shouted for help. “Clyyyyde!” He keeps trying to make me throw up. I’m already choking. “Fuuuuuck! Clyyyyde!”

One last try but… I felt a tight chest, not being able to breathe. Sight is blurring, turning to pitch black.

“Clyyyyyyyyyyyde!”

THE NEXT DAY…

LAURA AND GWEN are currently outside arranging the stall where they will put their goods to sell. The two thought of doing a side job first while they didn’t have work so that they could have supplies for their own needs. And they did not expect that they would have a visitor. The two were surprised when the red car parked right in front of their place.

“Hey! customers now! ” Gwen said, smiling.

And when they got off, the people who were on board were,

“Ugh! Laura-you have a visitor! ” Gwen uttered

Laura looked over.

Chari was the first to come. “Laura?”

Laura was speechless, then snapped at Gwen. She knew right away that there was a problem with the way that Chari spoke.

“Laura-can I talk to you? I won’t make it long,” Chari said quickly.

Next is Clint. “Laura, we know you know why we’re here.”

Laura glanced at Gwen. Gwen signaled that she would take care of their goods first and let them inside the house. But…

“Ah! Don’t take that out! Just give the others and eat. I’ll just pay for that, Gwen. I want the four of us to talk, please?” Chari begged.

LAURA’S POV

As soon as I entered the room and saw him, my eyes began to water. I saw that his eyes were deep and he lost a little weight immediately. He looks like a mess. He is not the doc that I knew before. The tidy and respectable one. What happened to him? Why did he do it to himself?

“Laura-Lau-Laura? Hmph!” He just kept on crying.

I can’t believe that I am now standing in front of him. Honestly, I wanted to stay away. I wanted to forget and leave him alone, but when I found out from his parents earlier that Doc had almost killed himself because of me, I was disturbed. I say that I don’t love this person, but why did I agree to go see him? Why did I agree? And why do I feel these mixed emotions now? This guy is too kind to me to make him suffer. All he wanted was my attention. All he wanted was me.

I saw that his hands were shaking while he was crying like a small child. There was a syringe plugged in and oxygen stuck in his nose.

I then asked myself, “What did I do to this person? He is so kind. Why am I doing this to him?” After that, my tears streamed down my cheeks.

As I came closer to him, I grabbed his hands right away to stop them from shaking. “Clyde, I’m here.” I sweetly whispered.

He held my hands tightly. He removed the oxygen that was in his mouth and nose just to kiss my hands. “Sorry-Laura, sorry. I won’t do it again. I’m so sorry.” He repeated, kissing my hands.

My tears flowed when he said that.

“I’m not leaving, Clyde-sorry too. I’ll be here. Don’t do that again,” I whispered as I looked into his eyes.

“I love you, Laura, I won’t do it again… That was- a mistake, hmp!” He kissed both my hands. “I was drunk and lost… I’m sorry, Ma’am…”

FLASHBACK (THE CONVERSATION)

“Laura, I’m begging you, we’ll cover everything you need; a house, a car, and whatever; you don’t have to work,” said Chari. “I’ll send you money, weekly, monthly which day you want? Please..”

“It’s not that easy, Aunt Chari,” Laura answered politely.

“Laura, I’m begging you. My son loves you so much. Perhaps-maybe-“, Chari fought back her tears.

“Laura, maybe it’s not hard to love my son? I know that somehow you have feelings for him, so maybe you can try,” Clint pleaded. “Honestly, I’m against what Chari said we should do like this but-but I also feel sorry for my son. I couldn’t help to see him like that.”

Laura and Gwen looked at each other.

“Laura-hmmn… He nearly killed himself because you kept avoiding him, hmmm… Laura please,” Chari implored.

“He neglected his work,” Clint added. “He’ll drink, he’ll wander, he’ll go mad-he’s worse now than before, Laura.”

“Please, Laura, put him back-then we can talk about everything. Please, Clyde needs you now.”

“What if my husband comes? Won’t he go even crazier if I leave him?” Laura asked the couple. “To be honest-I avoided him to give him more space and peace of mind because I can see that he’s getting so serious about us.”

“Laura, he only got worse when you avoided him! Laura, I’m begging you-help Clyde! Hmn..” Chari couldn’t stop herself anymore, she walked up to Laura and hugged her.

“Ugh! Aunt! Ugh!”

“Laura, please.. fix my Clyde! I’ll give you everything you want! Laura?” staring at Laura. “You don’t need to work anymore as long as you take care of my Clyde… Please… He’s in the hospital now, Laura.”

“Drug overdose. He was drunk and took a bunch of sleeping pills. Luckily, Tejie saw him and caught him, so we saved him.” Clyde explained.

“Please, Laura-please, even if you don’t love him, just stay by his side,” Chari said as she took Laura’s hand in hers.

“Hospital?” she murmurs.

Laura was silent for a moment, thinking. Until..

“I will. Okay, I will… But-I won’t do it for money. I’ll just return everything he did well for me. But-you can’t stop me when it’s time to leave. And I don’t promise that I will love him in return, because-I’m in love with someone else, “Laura clarified.

The couple looked at each other.

“All right, Laura, as long as you fix him first, maybe before your husband arrives, Clyde will be fine, and maybe you’ll love him by then,” Chari said sadly.

Gwen and Laura just looked at each other.

CLYDE AND LAURA’S POV

I had a test for two days. It’s my third day now and I’m still under observation, but I know for myself that I’m good to go. I feel okay and fine. Mom just forced me to stay longer to make sure there were no residues on my nerves.

I was also guilty of what I did because I knew how much I worried Mom and Dad, Tejie, who saw me cry immediately while trying to choke me just to throw up the pills I had already taken. I tear up when I remember what I did, but the worst part was the one-night stand that I felt so guilty about. I felt that I had cheated on Laura. But on the other hand, I also felt better because I saw Laura again. Laura, who never left me and watched over me. She was currently sleeping on the sofa, and I was just watching. I couldn’t be happier now. I’m so happy. After the pain, she relieved all the pain very easily. I love Laura, and I can’t deny that I’m obsessed with her and can’t bear to lose her.

A moment later, Tejie arrives.

“Doc, special,” he smiled while handing me a bunch of red roses. “We’re leaving. Your doctor said you’d stay for the night; we’ll pick you up tomorrow morning, okay, tsk!” he said, winking at me, then, “Happy to have you back, brother! You fuck never fail to surprise me!” he hugged me tightly.

I hugged him too. “Thank you, bro. Thank you.”

He went out after finishing. He just brought me the flower I bought for Laura. I smelled the roses. It’s funny, I don’t know, but I’m very happy now. And while my eyes are closed, smelling the fragrance of the flower,

“Doc? What is that?”

Laura is awake.

“Huh?” I walk towards her and… “Laura for you,” I said, as I took the flower.

She smiled at me, reached for the flower, and then smelled it. “Aha! Is it mine?” she says.”Nice!”

I was very happy with her reaction. Laura’s face is so beautiful when she smiles. I hugged her so dearly. “Thank you, Laura,” I whispered, kissing her hair. “Laura, I love you. I can’t do it when you’re gone.”

She raised her face and stared at me. I brushed her cheek while staring into her eyes. “I love you, I love you so much, Laura.” I kept telling her. I won’t be fed up with telling her that.

She lowered her face, and I felt the tightening of her hug on me.

I’m happy even though she can’t answer my questions as long as she’s there. It’s like she said she loved me too. Maybe one day she’ll be able to say those words to me as well, and I will never get tired of waiting for that to come.

My phone rang; someone was calling, and it was just a number.

“Answer it, maybe that’s important. I’ve been seeing that number calling,” Laura said after picking up my cellphone herself to give it to me. “Go ahead, answer,” she insisted.

I don’t know why I feel hesitant to answer.

She handed me the phone again. “Hey! You’re not avoiding anything, Doc? Right? Answer it!”

And when I answered…

“Hello? Dey-Deynie?” I looked at Laura, who was currently staring at me smiling.
